shelter

Not a word was spoken between us, there was little risk involved
Everything up to that point had been left unresolved.
Try imagining a place where it's always safe and warm.
"Come in," she said,
"I'll give you shelter from the storm."
(Bob Dylan, "Shelter from the Storm", 1975)

are you blind ?

I'm not just deaf and dumb
Staring at the sun
Not the only one
Who's happy to go blind
(...)
Intransigence is all around
Military still in town
Armour plated suits and ties
Daddy just won't say goodbye
(U2, "Staring at the Sun", 1997)

missed the starting gun

And you run and you run to catch up with the sun, but its sinking
And racing around to come up behind you again
The sun is the same in the relative way, but youre older
Shorter of breath and one day closer to death
(Pink Floyd, "Time", 1973)

pretty teeth

Und der Haifisch, der hat Zähne
Und die trägt er im Gesicht
Und MacHeath, der hat ein Messer
Doch das Messer sieht man nicht
(Bertolt Brecht, "Die Moritat von Mackie Messer", 1928)
